Don't know about Emirates, but Etihad had two cameras available to watch on the in-flight entertainment screen (IIRC that was on 777), and quality looked so poor it reminded me of the very first 640x480 webcam I had in early 2000's. Although that's probably regulatory stuff. Most governments don't let arbitrary airtcaft do aerial topography-grade stuff, and companies err on the side of caution.
